According to Planet Sound, "Jay-Z is set to pull out of the festival as part of a new contract he signed with Live Nation promoters last Wednesday."
Apparently, it's to be confirmed on Monday.

From the Archive - The Tuesday DiScussion: Is your bedroom the new Abbey Road?
says on efest
he's definately pulling out. wonder who will replace him?
woo! hope he's replaced by radiohead
...or kanye west
should let his mates in Linkin Park take over
Wow
Even Glastonbury local council wouldn't have been able to pull that one off.
they sold 99 tickets
but jay-zeeez aint 1
ha! well done! it was only a matter of time
this is an..
excellent joke.
YES
THANK GOD.
Your loss
Good
Wahey. Just hope they don't replace him with someone like Muse/Radiohead now.
bet it's a windup
APRILS FOOL!
apparently this is true
and Kylie has a gap in her shcedule that day. albeit during a residency in Belfast. itd be quite something to get an even more unpopular headliner
they'll just move someone they've already booked up the bill
they're good at doing stuff like that.
I think
that this is a pity.
i guess i would've liked to have seen jay z.
nevermind.
Kula Shaker have a gap in their schedule that day
and the day before. and the day after. and the day after that.
tattva.
i'd like to see
Menswear reform for a triumphant comeback slot, either them or Reef.
symposium
are also free that day...
i just got off the phone to ross and he seems keen to reform for a one off show.
I bet you only phoned him when you saw this thread
You're such a fairweather friend.
the offspring?
that would be amazing.
Is this sarcasm?
Yes: Hmmm it might be quite good.
No: I totally agree.
the truth is
that he'll be announced as playing at the wireless festival later on today. the wireless festival is run by live nation. thus, the speculation is that he'll pull out of glastonbury.
It's been announced
If he does pull out, I for one will be gutted
As in I meant he's been announced for Wireless
Deetayls?
3rd July
supported by:
Mark Ronson
Hot Chip
Hercules and the Love Affair
i hope he doesnt pull glasto
apparently
Half Man Half Biscuit will finally get the recognition they deserve and headline the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday night
^should happen anyway
I want Jay-Z to headline
but if he does pull out, HMHB would be an excellent replacement.
Thats a shame, he was the best act on the bill so far.
^This
yes
will be well gutted if this happens. like loads.
After Leonard Cohen, this^
As a ticket holder I'd be gutted if he pulled out
Theyre denying it
aparrently.
I hope he cancels
not enough white-approved festivals!
What?
